Argentina - National Sovereignty Day

National Sovereignty Day is celebrated in Argentina every year on the fourth Monday in November. This is a national holiday, that is celebrated since 2010.
The first mentions about National Sovereignty Day date back to 1954, when José María Rosa proposed to establish this holiday. He chose an important historical event, that deserved commemoration. It was the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado, fought on November 20, 1845. During the battle a small Argentine army led by Juan Manuel de Rosas stood against an Anglo-French navy, that broke into the Paraná River. The battle ended with Argentinian defeat, but France and Britain also suffered great losses, that eventually led to the bargaining trade and signing of a peace treaty.

Iran - Martyrdom of Imam Hasan al-Askari

Martyrdom of Imam Hasan al-Askari is an Iranian observance marked on the 8th day of the month of Rabi al-awwal. It is dedicated to the 11th Imam of Shia Islam, one of the twelve rightful spiritual and political successors to the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
Hasan al-Askari was born in 846 to the tenth Imam Ali al-Hadi and his wife. He became known as al-Askari because Samarra, the city where he lived for a large part of his life, was a garrison town (the word “Askar” is translated from Arabic as “military”).
